I have been on lorazepam for a fortnight and the thing nobody warned me about is the memory gaps.

Reference ranges shift between labs, so comparing results across two different labs is close to meaningless.

The generic switch was the only change and it was noticeable for about three weeks.

Ashton-style switching to a longer half life helped a lot of people and is worth reading about.

Am I the only one, or is this the normal shape of a fortnight on something like this?

My pharmacist has become my actual doctor and I am at peace with it.

Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way. Memory gaps was my main issue with lorazepam too.

Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?

The pain score conversation is thirty seconds of my life I will never get back, every time. A fortnight in on lorazepam and it lines up.

Worth asking what specifically was measured. Pain scores move with mood and function does not. Memory gaps was my main issue with lorazepam too.
